series Jiang Wen Rising
Directed by Jiang Wen | 2013
With Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhou Yun
Returning to the Jazz Age milieu of Let the Bullets Fly, Jiang unleashes a deliriously stylized, subtly subversive crime musical. He stars as a Shanghai gangster who stages a rigged beauty pageant (cue a series of dizzyingly over-the-top song and dance numbers) that spirals into tragedy. Along the way there are references to everything from silent slapstick to film noir to The Godfather, with Jiang doing his best Brando.
